"Go and see your doctor If you’ve got anything that you’re concerned about – that’s what a GP is for. Go as soon as you can.’" Early detection can help you get treatment earlier, with West Lancashire-based GP Dr Helen Piercy advising: "If you notice any signs or symptoms that concern you, see your GP. "First phone for an appointment. You will be assessed. You will be invited in, if you need to be seen face-to-face. Don’t be afraid. Pick up the phone."
